People Close To Allah Enjoy Peace, Says HM
By Waleed PD Mahdini

Bandar Seri Begawan - Peace and stability was the underlying message that His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu'izzaddien Waddaulah, the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam conveyed in a titah yesterday.

Speaking on the eve of Hari Raya Aidil Adha, His Majesty reminded the residents and people of Brunei Darussalam that "a country will only be considered peaceful once it is free from any form of fear," as one can only enjoy peace if they are safe from fear, the monarch went on to point out.

"There are many countries in the world, regardless of size or strength, that are unable to enjoy peace because they continue to be plagued by many fears," His Majesty said, explaining that these countries are either afraid of civil strife, war, natural disaster, poverty, a crippled economy, infectious diseases and many others.

"All these destroy peace and harmony," warned the monarch.

Towards this end, "Only those people that are close to Allah (SWT), are the ones whose lives enjoy peace," the monarch advised.

Brunei, is a country that is always with Allah, the monarch pointed out, which always offers praises to Allah by making it part of daily life.

The monarch believed that it was due to this that Allah continues to protect the country and its people from natural disasters and disruptive elements.

"God willing, I will always resolve to make Brunei Darussalam a country that always glorifies Allah, so that we will always remain in His care," His Majesty said.

The monarch conveyed these messages of peace and stability as a reminder of its true worth and meaning to everyone, in light of the growing troubles and dangers that had fraught the world into insecurity.

As almost three million Muslims the world over have now congregated in Mekah fox the annual Haj pilgrimage, His Majesty shared their same hopes for the "biggest ambition" of achieving peace in everything that we do.

Muslims will be performing the mass Aidil Adha prayers in all mosques, suraus and prayer halls throughout the country this morning. Later throughout the day, sacrificial animals will be duly slaughtered and the meat distributed to the needy and poor throughout the country.-- Courtesy of The Brunei Times
